would you still continue to hunt wild turkeys? how would you change up what you do now to adjust to this change? we'll keep choke tubes & TSS & all that jazz legal -- but NO AIDS (audible or visual) in the pursuit of the wild turkey would be legal in AL ... AND YES you can use your natural voice ...

(yes, we're just killing time - but i'm curious to hear your thoughts on this)

there are spots at my place I could put someone at a tree (on a road or field), and if they would be still and sit there, there is a 100% chance a turkey walks for you to shoot.

just doesn't seem fun.

Natural voice calling allowed? I mean, you couldn’t make that illegal, right?

I've called and killed turkeys with my natural voice and I ain't very good at it.

Hell yeah I'd still hunt. In fact, If I ever get to where I'm killing a bird or 2 each season consistently [insert jokes here], I'd love to make it a mission to kill one using only my natural voice.

I am convinced you don't really have to sound much like a turkey, with your natural voice, to call one. I've personally "held conversations" with hens very close, by only using my natural voice, just to see if I could. I'll be the first to admit, the tone wasn't particularly great, but the cadence was right. And I'm convinced the cadence is 10x more important than the tone. I really believe if you could get the cadence down, and make something that even remotely sounds like something close to a turkey yelp, you can kill one just as well with your natural voice.

But I'll defer to the real killers here.

I know a turkey killer that has never bought a single turkey call - and he calls them up.

I’d hunt them regardless.

My dad called one up once with just his mouth and all he was doing was whistling like a young poult and scratching in the leaves. He called up three longbeards together on that hunt.

wish y'all had footage of that ... "scratching in the leaves", natural voice "calls" & scouting would become key strategies, no doubt

It's not the aid you use to say it. It is how you say it to them.

I use my natural mouth to owl hoot, crow call, yelp, cluck, and purr plus that would knock out a lot of hunters meaning more property...I'm all for that! lol
